FUND RAISING AND EXPANSION

The Pence Gallery is planning to achieve greater excellence in the celebration of Northern California arts, culture, and history. In pursuit of this goal, the Pence Gallery Association has constructed a state-of-the-art building on its current site. For reasons that are both practical and aesthetic, the new facility has completely replaced the existing structure. Designed by the San Francisco firm of Barcelon and Jang, the new building will offer three museum-style galleries as well as a community education hall, conference room, learning center, and kitchen amounting to 4,880 square feet. The site will include an outdoor stage in a tranquil setting with a sculpture garden.

A facility committee of eight community members guides the project. Each member contributes his or her unique professional insight to this endeavor. The committee is comprised of designers, architects, artists, arts administrators, educators and others.

The Davis City Council has committed $250,000 toward the proposed $1,500,000 needed for the new museum-style gallery. A portion of raised funds will be used to establish an endowment to ensure financial stability for the future.

Through extended hours and openings, the Pence Gallery will further vitalize evening activities. Expanded exhibitions, educational and cultural programs will focus attention on Davis as a regional center for the arts - regularly benefiting residents, businesses, artists and visitors from throughout the area.
